The Source is selling Powerball imitations for $9.99 (regular price: $19.99). The Powerball or its imitation is basically a gyroscope in a casing. As a gyroscope rotates and builds up angular momentum it exerts force on the ball, and your hand in turn. You rotate the ball in circles through the air to keep the gyro going faster, and faster, which in turn produces more force on your hand. It’s a very simple and fun-to-use exercise ball and best of all, it can help prevent wrist injuries and stave off Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It will also build your forearms, and really exercise your hands and fingers. Here’s a video that explains the Powerball more.

Should you buy The Source’s imitation or original Powerball?
Original is much more expensive (about $30 and up).

Buy powerball imitation if:
– You need it to avoid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or exercise your hands.
– You’re trying it out for the first time.

Buy original powerball if:
– You want to seriously build your forearms and you’re interested in strength-building.
– You just have an unlimited supply of money 🙂

The Source has two different models on sale:
Wrist Exercise Ball
Nexxtech Wrist Ball

This offer expires on April 23rd.

Today is Day 4 of Best Buy’s 7 days of deals. Today’s deal is DataWare 100-Pack 8X DVD-R Spindle for $19.99 (regular price $59.99). You can get this deal here. This deal is very disappointing in my point of view. Although $19.99 is a very cheap price for 100 blank DVDs, these DataWares have a relatively poor quality. I would rather pay a bit more and buy well known high quality blank DVD media. If you record movies on your blank DVDs, the higher the quality the longer they’ll last. If you’re looking for blank DVDs I’d certainly recommend the Memorex 100-Pack 16X 4.7GB DVD-R Spindle from Futureshop.

Black’s is selling it’s digital backpack for only $24.99 (regular price was $49.99). That’s 50% off. You can find this backpack deal here.

Canadian Tire has a special offer on the Magnasonic DVD Player with Karaoke. It is on sale for $39.99 (Reg. $59.99) plus there’s an extra $10 mail in rebate.

Wow! Costco are selling this Casio Exilim Pro EX-P505 5.0 MP Digital Camera for $229.99! It has a 5x optical zoom, 2 inch LCD monitor as well as load of other features (you can read full specifications here). $229.99 for a camera with all these features and options is very appealing. If I just hadn’t bought my Sony DSC60 a couple of months ago!
You can find this awesome Costco deal right here.

 

Today is Day 3 and Best Buy has the Logitech Z-5300E 5.1 PC Speakers on sale. They are on sale for $149.99 down from $299.99. That’s a 50% discount! At $299.99 these speakers were definitely overpriced but now for $149.99 this is one hot deal. If you play a lot of PC games or watch movies on your computer, these speakers will provide you with the ultimate breathtaking 5.1 surround sound experience. You can find this offer here. More information about the 5.1 speakers:

Feel the game on your PC or console with breathtaking 5.1 surround sound from the Logitech Z-5300E speaker system. Demanding gamers prefer its high power and THX performance. Its patented dual chamber subwoofer pounds out twice the bass of conventional designs, delivering deep, loud and powerful bass.

Switch to TELUS High Speed Internet, sign up for a 3-year contract and enjoy TELUS High Speed only $30.95 per month. Plus you’ll get:
– Free Dell 19″ LCD flat panel monitor
– 1 month of free Internet service
– Free modem rental

That’s a pretty hot deal in my opinion. $30.95/month for high speed Internet is reasonable and the free Dell monitor makes this deal irresistible.

Today is Day 2 of Best Buy’s 7 days of deals. Today’s deal is a 19″ Widescreen LCD Monitor for $299.99. You can find this deal here.
Although this is a good price for a 19 inch screen, I would strongly recommend that you wait for DELL to have a sale on their LCD monitors. DELLs are way better and 19”  DELL monitors can sometimes go on sale for as low as $269!
Best Buy once again offered a warm deal. Hopefully they’ll have a better deal tomorrow.
